What are the must haves for you're shop?

A good metal cutting band saw with a large throat. Interchangeable blades for wood, steel etc.

Robert,


If you're building from scratch, consider a sprinkler system. Fire extinguishers are great if you're present when the fire starts, but I can safely assume that you're not planning being in the building 24/7.

Here’s a shot I took yesterday. Rolled the coupe out after polishing the original, yes original, paint. 12’6” ceilings, 2 post lift and open space upstairs. Originally I was going to finish the upstairs as a hang out area but it’s all full of car parts now!

Color me impressed with the original paint on that coupe. What do the fenders and hood look like?

Oh yeah, nice looking shop too. On my mezzanine, the parts area grows and the "hang-out area" keeps shrinking. (I hate the term "Man Cave" for some reason.)

Hood is in great shape like the body. Fenders show a little more wear. Here’s a quick 2 minute polish I did just to show a little shine. Also got the new weatherstripping installed, you can see the original paint on the door tops as well. As far as the garage, I only wish it was twice as big!!
